There are plenty of tools out there that will allow you to write into the EXIF data. What you're planning would require a programmer to pull it all together and build a functional application though.

The system would be very similar to the normal gps/camera set up, except instead of writing coordinates, you will be writing valve or line numbers into the exif. Ideally, you would be in a database, where you enter a load of daat about the valve/pipeline, then press "capture image" and use the digital camera to take a photo and automatically enter it into the database. Any help would be appreciated.

But, I wonder, does anyone know if there is any similar program for windows? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks What an excellent program!

I was wondering how it knew where you took the photo, but the timestamp bit makes perfect sense. Like our radios here, if you want things to work all nice and happy like, you set them to GPS time before missions. I'd probably do the same with my camera and GPS. Cool find, I'll be downloading it soon. Very nifty, I think we’d talked about this before so I’m glad you found a solution.
